It has been well established that a strong association exists between flares and type III bursts: Loughhead, Roberts, and McCabe [1] showed that 60 to 70 per cent of type III bursts occurred during the lifetimes of flares or microflares of apparent area exceeding about 20 × 10–6 solar hemispheres. On the other hand, only about 22 per cent of all such flares are associated with bursts. This low figure indicates that there are differences of degree or type between various flares, but the large area range involved shows that flare size alone is not the determining factor.
